Moderate Singlet Diradical Zethreneis predicted to exhibit moderate singlet diradical character (y = 0.41)and high two-photon absorption property by computational studies. Nakano, M. et al. Comp.

It is predicted theoretically that large spin density and frontier orbital coefficients of zethreneare located at the 7,14-positions.

ZethreneDimers (Candidates for tetraradical) ・Dizethrenylacetylene (n = 1) Dizethrenylbutadiyne (n = 2) ・Zethrenylzethrene cumulene Interaction betweendiradicals tert-Butyl groups are omitted for clarity. ・The two zethrene backbones of 4a would be considerably twisted because of strong steric repulsion. ・Since the steric repulsion of the 4b wouldbe small because of the acetylene spacer, two zethrene backbones would adopt a co-planar conformation. Therefore, interaction between two diradicalswould become stronger as expressed by the cumulenic resonance structure.
Retrosynthetic Analyses of ZethreneDimers cross coupling precursors of 4a and 4b homo coupling My first project is to synthesize asymmetric 7,14-dihalozethrenes 7a and 7b.
Synthetic Studies for Asymmetric DisubstitutedZethrenes Transannularcyclization of 1b with IBrand ICl did not give asymmetric 7,14-dihalozethrenes.

Sonogashira Coupling for Dizethrenylacetylene dizethrenylbutadiyne Attempted Sonogashira coupling of 6 and 5 did not give 4b but 4c which is a homocoupled product of 5a.
UV Spectra and CV of Dizethrenylbutadiyne ・Absorption maximum of 4c was blue shifted compared to that of 3b. ・Small shoulders were observed in the long-wave length region for 4c. UV spectra of 4c (red) and 3b (blue) in CH2Cl2 at 25 ˚C ・Splits of two oxidation waves and reduction waves indicate electron interaction between two zethrene backbones in 4c.

Future Work ・Synthesis of dizethrenylacetylene by Negishi coupling will be carried out. ・Physical properties of dizethrenylbutadiyne and dizethrenylacetylene will be investigated. ・Zethrenylzethrene will be synthesized.
Summary ・Recently, tetra-tert-butyl-7,14-bis(phenylethynyl)zethrene derivatives whichexhibited high stability, high solubility, and high two-photon absorption property were synthesized. ・Transannularcyclization of the [10]annulene with ICland IBr did not give asymmetric 7,14-dihalozethrenes. ・Attempted Sonogashira coupling of 7-ethynyl-14-(phenylethynyl)zethrene and 7-halo-14-(phenylethynyl)zethrene did not give dizethrenylacetylene but dizethrenylbutadiyne which is a homocoupled product of 7-ethynyl-14-(phenylethynyl)zethrene. ・UV spectrum and Cyclic voltammogram of dizethrenylbutadiyne indicated electron interaction between two zethrene backbones in dizethrenylbutadiyne.
